Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Bell's palsy is believed to occur as a result of viral infection. The condition usually resolves spontaneously after several weeks. The onset is sudden and there aren't lingering effects after the condition resolves in several weeks after onset. Cranial nerve VII is not functioning appropriately as a result of the viral infection. This results in the unilateral facial paralysis associated with the condition.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
The submental lymph node is just below the chin and should be palpated with one hand.
